Thursday, Right?

Working on a sleeve. Yes, indeedy, I am. Not a lot of progress because I’m back to killer days at work and insomnia at night which adds up to not a lot of energy for knitting.

Lucy Bed

It’s coming along! I’ve got about 21 inches in diameter right now (though you can’t tell with it all smooshed up on the needle). I want to knit to about 24″ diameter before the sides. I’m hoping to felt it down about 30 — 40%.

Well, we’ll see.

Camera Question!

Judy asked:

I saw the paws and had to ask..
I had decided last weekend to buy the same camera. I’m switching out from a larger format ( and a lifetime of german cameras) so I want to pick a great normal lens that will also do close-ups. As you know, the optics make the difference. So, what did you use for the paws, and do you have a favorite lens?

For the paws photo, I used the EF-S 18-55mm Lens — here are the specs:

Busy days, sleepless nights must be going around. I worked on my double handle felted bag until 4:30am, took a catnap, and am up and ready to hit the day. Unfortunately, I only have enough energy to read blogs at this hour, not write one!

Mornin’ Wendy! I think the calendar is a great idea — um, maybe a fund raiser for the Capital Area Rescue or another organization? (You did such good work w/the mousies…) And yes, she is much better looking than the current Fancy Feast spokescat (although I’ve always been intrigued by chinchillas, the flat Persian face is much less attractive than Lucy’s).

Oh, wook at that wittle kitty tummy. (Yes, I’m a freaky baby talker with my cats, so sue me…LOL) Lucy has definitely got it over the Fancy Feast “spokescat”. It’s all in the eyes. I love the cross eyes she has, it just gives her so much personality

Wendy, I’ve been dropping heavy hints around the house about your new camera and how I really think it takes great photos and wouldn’t it be great to go to take a look at one? We’ll see if DH gets the hint. I could always resort to printing out the spec list and taping it to his forehead before my birthday if he doesn’t get the hint for Christmas…LOL!

GodDANG, I love that cat. And I love how in the first shot it’s totally evident that you were lying on the floor to get it…. I’m a big believer in the floor shot. I actually once spread my body out on a highway (deserted) in New Zealand to get a shot of sheep crossing the road, from the road’s vantage….
